MEXICo,s ANARCHIsNI.

A political discussion in Mexico is con-
Quoted a good deal after the order OF the
old Arkansas legislature, where the preSid-
ing officer, in putting a question to the
body, would say: ''As many as favor the
proposition say aye and if anybody says
mo- the sergeant-at-a is directed to
throw the son of a gun out of the win
dow" 1t was recently proposed to
repeal the amendment to the Mex
lean constitution that now prohibits
the reelection of a person to the office of
president until at least one term has inter-
vened 1t was announced that public
meeting would be held in the city of Mexico,
where there would be a free debate of the
proposition. Two speakers who attempted
to speak in opposition to the project had
such an unfortunate experience in being
summarily silenced by the hooting mob the
most singular unanimity prevailed after
that. Republicanism in Mexico is only a
name. There can be no such thing in that
benighted country as the formation of
parties upon distinctive features of govern
mental policy. MeXico'S normal condition
is one of anarchy, and it will never be bet
tered until it is brought under the influence
of our own government. There is no pros
porous future for Mexico except in amneXa-
ton to the United States.

The Chicago lsoodiers.

CHICAGO, May 3.-This afternoon the
trial of William j. McGarigle, warden of
the Cook county hospital, and Engineer
Edward Mcdonald, of the county hospital.
for conspiracy, was begun before
Judge Sheperd IT. the criminal court. 1t is
expected that two days will be spent in Sc
curing jury. A bulky envelope contain
ing 600 in currency was received through
the mail to-day by one of the reform mem
bers of the board of county commissioners.
Enclosed with the roll of bills was a slip of
paper bearing the inscription: This money
belongs to Cook county," 1t is supposed
that the amount is part OF the proceeds of
one of the doodle" operations now being
dealt with by the courts.
States Attorney Grinnel startled the de-
PENDANTS by presenting a motion challeng
ing the entire array of jurors. He charged
that, contrary to the law, the jury list had
been made up wholly from the names of
persons living in one or two districts in
the county. 1t was evident that Mr.. Grin
nell feared that the lists had been fixed in
the interests of the boodlers. The defense
opposed Mr.. Grinnels motion and the mat
ter was left open for argument tomorrow.

WHY THE COUNCIL Did If.
Gossip on the Resolutions Agains
the Enlargement of Central park

Gossip on the Resolutions Against
the Enlargement of Central Park.
The action of the council last night in re-
fusing to Issue bonds for the park commits
sion was great surprise all around.
1t is understood that it was
due to Aid. Sanborn and Cullen.
Why the council is opposed to the en-
largement of Central park is an unsolved
enigma, unless the explanation of Aid
Dowlan. in speaking to Chairman Van
Slyke, OF the park commission, and Mayor
Smith, is accepted. He said:
The people of this city are kicking all the
time about burdensome taxes. lot of in
terested parties went before the legis-
lature last winter and got bill through
authorizing the issuing of 1925 900
in bonds for park purposes.
and appointed a commission to expend that
If the council can put q brake or any need
less expenditures they are the representa-
| tives Of the taxpayers and ought to do it.
Mayor Smith, who was the chief pusher
of the bill when it was up in the legislature,
didn't say anything, but Mr.. Van Slyke,
whose penchant for parks is only exceeded
by his penchant for ice palaces and street
Nominations replied:

propriate any money or not. We can go
ahead, as the law authorizes us, and con-
denim the land for parks, to be paid for one
half from the bond funds and the other half
by benefit assessments We can create an
obligation, and the city council will have to
take care of it.

expected to be in attendance and the eX-
pectation is to make it the most imposing
royal assemblage that was ever congregated
together.
Queen VICTORY has been good woman,
and her long reign has been a successful
one. 1t is but natural that the British peo-
pie would want to pay some tribute OF
respect to the venerable queen in testi-
monial of the good will they bear The
semi-centennial anniversary of her coro-
nation is an excellent opportunity to do
So But, inasmuch as the tribute is in
tended more to her virtues as woman
than her acts as queen, the demonstra-
ton, as it is being arranged by
her courtiers, is in bad taste. The
great mass of the people are
to be denied the privilege of participating
III the ceremony. 1t is to be made a
pagentry of royalty alone. OF course
there can be but one motive in this, and
that is the expectation of creating feeling
of reverentlal awe among the masses for
the insignia of royal power. The demon
stration as it is to be gotten up is the result
of the united Scheming and plan
ming of tine crowned heads of Eu-
rope. They feel that they have
common cause III protecting their crowns
against the political revolution which
threatens TO subvert the whole of Europe.
The situation is so strained that they feel
they cannot afford to let any opportunity
pass to bolster up their lettering thrones.
That is why the VICTORIA jubilee is to be
so exclusively royal demonstration. But
the probabilities are that the effect Will be
the reverse of what is intended. 1t will
probably give an impetus to the cause OF
democracy in England which it has never
yet had. If the courtiers want to
test English sentiment let them arrange to
have GLADSTONE and Queen VICTORIA
appear in public the same day and then de-
termine by the applause given to each
which is the strongest sentiment in Eng
land to-day-democracy or royalty. That
would be a fair test and it would tell tale
which would startle the crowned heads of
the old world.

A Suicidal E.uuatic.

New YORK, May 3.-While lower Broadway
and the City Hall park were crowded with
pedestrians yesterday afternoon, Il man ran
through the crowded park with his throat cut
and bloody knife in his hand. The first
that was seen OF him was when he came up
Franklin street and started across to the city
hall on the run. Just as he got opposite the
main entrance of the city hall on the plaza
he took the knife in his left hand and made Il
ferocious thrust with it at the right side of
his neck. inflcting an awful wound. AS he
ran he left trail of blood behind. but the
sight OF this only seemed to infuriate him.
for he continued to hack at his throat with
the knife rs he ran. He had II clear course,
for the people in the park fed to the wire
fence on each side, some yelling I'm urder''
and police The man, whose name is Pat
Ford. was finally overpowed. He may re-

ENGLAND's DEMOCRACY.

The British are going to make the jubilee
in celebration of Queen VIcToRIA's half
century reign an imposing affair. The
main effort seems to be to make it an occa-
sion which will impress the English people
with the majesty of royalty. We are told
that in The arrangements being made for the
jubilee thanksgiving service in Westminster
Abbey, $50 singers are to be placed
in the galleries on each side of the
chancel. The queen is to be elevated in the
coronation chair with the representatives of
royalty and great officers around her. Be-
hind her in one transept will be the house
of lords and in the other the house of COM
mons. the members placed on tiers of seats
so that her majesty will have a high court

FLORENCE, May 3.-The body of Rossini
was buried to-day in the church of Santa
Croce with imposing ceremonies. Orations
were delivered by the mayor of Florence,
the French consul, Signor Tamberlake, and
Others. The procession that followed the
funeral car to the church was composed OF
over 100 societies, representing various
countries, and host of distinguished per-
sons. The streets through which the pro-
cession passed were strewn with flowers.
Many houses were draped and flags were
displayed at half-mast everywhere. When
the cortege reached the church the choir
standing on the steps Of the editice sang
the prayer from "Mose in Egitto." The
coffin was lowered into the tomb amid
many signs of sympathetic feeling.

A POSSIBLE COMPLICATION.

With all its effort to frame law to pro-
vide for the presidential succession so as to
entirely remove all possible difficulties and
complications in the future, congress made
a most signal failure. The country is liable
to be confronted with most serious COM
plication in the first election after the pas
sage of the law. Of course, the difficulty
will only occur in the event that there is no
election at the polls. The growth and Or
ganiZatlon of the new Labor party makes
such an occurrence possible. If there is
no popular choice for president the duty of
electing a chief magistrate devolves upon
the house OF representatives. The const-
tuition requires that the votes in the house
shall be taken by states, and that major
ity of all the states shall be necessary to
choice. In the next house of representatives
the Republicans have majority in nine
teen state delegations, the Democrats
in seventeen. New Hampshire is evenly
divided, and Rhode Island still to elect one
of its members. If he should be a Demo-
crat Rhode Island would be a tie. Nine
teen is not majority of all the states, con-
sequently there would be no election. The
senate would elect the vice president, and
as majority of all the senators would De
necessary to choice. the notable Mr.. RID
DLEBERGER would hold in his hand the
power of locking the wheels of govern
ment. 1t is not a comfortable view to take
OF our future political destiny when we con-
template the possibility of the whole ma
chlnery OF government being placed at the
mercy and disposal of one man, and par
ticularly man of such whimsical mood as
Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER. 1t is to be hoped
that such crisis may never arrive. but
when we see that it is not only possible but
probable, it is time that we were considering
some plan by which all dangers of this
character may be removed forever.
This defect in the new succession
law has resulted from the almost
absolute impossibility of harmonizing legis-
lative enactments which are adopted in re-
spouse to modern demands to the anti
quated provisions of a constitution which
was framed to meet the eXigencies of a past
century. 1t is only an additional argument
In favor of what the GLOBE has all along
been advocating, the remodeling of our fed
eral constitution. 1t needs to be recon-
structed so as to fit the requirements of our
advancing civilization, and the longer the
work of reconstruction is delayed the more
dangers our institutions are subjected to.
Each years delay now is a source of new
danger to the republic.
